I have a Citroen AX GTI, running a VTS Engine, 4-1manifold, straight through exhaust, CAI, no cat...

Every so often when running the car(2nd car) it goes a bit tappety for a min or so, normally after having a blast... no i belive this could be the cam followers (being lazy!) and not filling up right... She's due for an oil change, so firstly do you think it's just dirty, cheap oil causing this and what would be recommended?

Also would you suggest an engine flush and how do you carry these out?

Cheers,

Dom

Dom,

Do you know what oil is currently being run in the engine?

Cheers

Guy.

For a standard road car, you can't go wrong with one of these.

This oil fine for a modded VTS for normal roads and trackdays?

5w-40 is ideal, have a look at Fuchs and Motul for good value. If you want the very best then you are looking at the ester based synthetics such as the Silkolene Pro S and the Motul 300v but they are expensive.

Would this be good for a 03 VTS, Fast road cams, Induction, Manifold.

And could you recommend an oil filter.

Hi,

Yes the Mobil 1 0w-40 is ideal, a god quality PAO synthetic.

For filter just use the look up guide on our site, we do Purolator which are oem spec and approved.

Cheers
